What his chart says about him
Who he was
Sun in Sagittarius, the Explorer
Restless in the best way. Wants to see more, learn more and say exactly what is on his mind. His purpose and his drive worked together: once he decided on something, he moved on it fast.
The Sun trine Mars (almost exact at 0.7°)
What he needed
Moon in Gemini, the Talker
Feels better after talking it through. Needs conversation, variety and something interesting to think about. Feelings without edges: other people’s sorrow and joy reached him as if they were his own.
The Moon conjunction Neptune (close at 1.9°)
How he loved
Venus in Sagittarius, the Adventurer
Loves openly and with good humour. Needs freedom, honesty and someone to explore the world with. Charm and desire worked together: he knew what he wanted in love and how to win it.
Venus trine Mars (close at 2.9°)
How he thought
Mercury in Sagittarius, the Philosopher
A wide-ranging mind. Learns by asking, travelling and following a question as far as it goes. A generous, wide-ranging mind: he learned easily, told a good story and saw the big picture.
Mercury sextile Jupiter (close at 2.6°)
What drove him
Mars in Leo, the Leader
Full of fire and pride. Works hardest for a cause close to his heart and wants the effort to be seen. Quick and inventive in action: he moved fast, broke with habit and made sudden changes work.
Mars trine Uranus (wide at 4.0°)
The shape of his chart
In his chart, his identity, his mind, his heart, his discipline and his independence (the Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn and Uranus) gather in Sagittarius, and that part of life drew his attention first. No earth at all, so the practical, settled side was the one he had to find.
